Kawasaki Recall

Kawasaki has recalled almost 9,500 of its 2009–2010 KLX 250 dual-purpose motorcycles because the fuel tank may leak at the spot weld(s) on the side mount tabs. Caused by excessive clearance between the fuel tank and frame-mounted rubber damper, the fuel leakage at the welding point(s) could ignite and cause a dangerous explosion. Kawasaki dealers will inspect and correct the fuel tank clearance problem free of charge. Concerned Kawasaki KLX 250 owners can contact Kawasaki’s customer service department at 1-866-802-9381 (referencing Kawasaki Safety Recall No. MC11-04), and as always the NHTSA is available at 1-888-327-4236 and www.safercar.gov.
